Any hope for an Appleseed in Lubbock?

There's some shoots in Amarillo coming up:

Kinda doubt we'll have any events in Lubbock any time soon since there are not many instructors in that area.

Any range facility identified and available down here?
If so, it is a matter of more instructor development?

I'm not sure about ranges in Lubbock but the lack of instructors in that area is a problem.

Additionally the Amarillo events have suffered from small amounts of students attending. The Amarillo Sept 20-21 event only has one person signed up right now. If you'd like to attend there and possibly become an instructor that would be a good start.

There have been shoots in the Lubbock area in the past.  According to the records, there were several small events in 2012 at a range north of town, at the intersection of Roads 2500 x 5700.  Also a single shoot in 2011 a ways to the west, near Levelland.
